Typically these lizards stop eating when they are about to shed. If you think this is the case, leave him be. If for some reason it's just him being picky, buy him the kind of mushy kelp and plankton food available at most pet stores, and try to put it in his mouth. You will need to support his jaw.

Make sure the water temperature is correct (warm at least), or he has a hot place to warm himself (UV lamp). Give treats to ease him to his regular food.

This is sometimes caused by stressed. If they are frightened or stressed, they won't eat. Make slow movements when putting food in their cage. Try wingless fruit flies.
